Page 109 - a very small paragraph has been in my face all week (all my life). " Given who He thinks He is, He has every right to walk into our lives, interrupt our plans and command us: "Come to me. Follow me. Lose your life for me!"
Come to me - All day long - from the minute I wake up the Spirit of Jesus whispers to me, "Come to me." What do I do? Do I obey? Do I ignore? Do I say no? Do I say yes...but never come? More often than not yes! I respond YES JESUS - but then fail to pick up the feet of my heart and head and move towards Him.
Follow Me - "Ok - hold on - I am almost done with this Jesus...be right there!" Sound Familiar?
Lose your life for me! - Jesus- mucho take it easy on the death talk! You came to give life and give it more abundantly - what is with all this crucifixion talk?
Man I had a hard week in relationship with Jesus - I need him more than ever to be the "I AM HE"
" do I say yes but never come?"
